That is what this game is all about.

Kind of reminds me of playing some b17 intercepts coops back in the years. A flight of 8 Me109G6 with Gunpods facing 15xB17 and 8xP51. A hopeless fight. We never engaged the "little friends" and just picked our targets. A well placed headon MK108 burst tore 1/3 of the formation in pieces. After that it was run or get killed by a P51. A hard and even stressful experience, but how satisfying overall.

The sortie about hunting a flight of Spitfires may be realistic when they are viewed aagainst a sea background, but agains ground it gets close to impossible to spot aircraft below you.

Similar flights were getting jumped daily in a winter Russian campaign by Emil/Friedrich flights. Against white color reds are easily visible. Such flights got devastated with LW virtual pilots getting high streaks.
